from, and send mail through, your domain mail account. Two popular email
programs are Eudora and MS Outlook Express. The two procedures that follow
briefly describe how to configure these programs to work with your email
account. Once configured, you will be able to use these programs to send
and receive mail.Warning:

any of the procedures below, you should know the following information.
If you do not know it you can contact Support Contact Form.·
Your email address with the company.· Your Domain Name.· Additionally,
you should have the following information from your Internet Service Provider
(ISP).· The ISP's SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) mail server name.

options and settings you can change in order to customize the mail client
for personal use. These additional features are not covered in the procedures
below. For more information on these features, consult your mail program's
